“…This study used the most widely employed (and credible) multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM, or multi-attribute decision-making [MADM]) model, AHP, as the main multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method. In the field of MCDM (defined more generally to include multiobjective decision-making [MODM]), incorporation of the fuzzy concept to address uncertainty (Chutia, 2021;Jiang & Hu, 2021;Muneeb et al, 2021;Rahman, 2022;Tavana et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021;Xue et al, 2021), novel interdisciplinary applications of existing models (Garg & Rani, 2022;Majumder et al, 2021;Mishra et al, 2021;Turgut & Erdogan, 2020;Zhuang & Yu, 2021), and model refinements (Gong & Fan, 2021;Jin et al, 2021;Khan et al, 2022;Ni et al, 2022;Rahman et al, 2021) are the most popular topics to date. The research context of this study falls within the scope of the second topic.…”
